Andrea Namar
Two years. Two years.

Unnamed Speaker

Alona Mar
Oh, no, no, no. You can keep that. You can keep that.
Olivia Mar
That is kind of like her thing. Like.
Andrea Namar
No, you got one thing I got going for me.
Alona Mar
I'm. Be honest. I Don't want that responsibility. Oh, my gosh.
Andrea Namar
Well, thanks for coming to the House of Mar today.
Olivia Mar
Coming up on today's episode of House of Mar, we're talking coach Kylie blind ranking romcoms and competition.
Andrea Namar
We love to kick things off with a touch grass moment. Like, obviously sports, but also, like, let's get grounded in what's going on today. You know, so sometimes people just take life a little too seriously. We're here to remind you to touch grass. Today we thought we would talk about only children. Do you trust them?
Olivia Mar
What if that's not only children?
Alona Mar
Is this a safe space?
Olivia Mar
It's a safe space.
Alona Mar
Absolutely not.
Olivia Mar
Absolutely not.
Unnamed Speaker
Thank you.
Alona Mar
I will say the closest only child I have to me is my cousin Marissa. But she was tagged in with my sister and I to a degree that I feel like she did not fully receive the only child experience.
Olivia Mar
Yes. Good.
Alona Mar
So she's. She's safe.
Andrea Namar
We will say, like, yeah, they. They kind of scare me a little bit sometimes. Like twins who say things at the same time, but only children. If you have close cousins, that helps.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Andrea Namar
That's not as it lessens the blow.
Olivia Mar
It's so tough for them. I feel for them. Like, I have one of my teammates who's an only child. Well, it's not an old child, but she has much older, older brothers. And like, she never had somebody to play with and to socialize with. And she was like, I would have loved to have that. Which if you are only had only one, have one kid also. That's awesome. Do it yourself.
Andrea Namar
But in this economy, in this economy also. Do you want them to be weird?
Alona Mar
Set them up for success?
Andrea Namar
Yes.
Alona Mar
At least make sure there's a cousin.
Andrea Namar
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker
Close cousin, maybe even a neighbor.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker
You got to have a young kid around.
Olivia Mar
You know what I remember from when you were in Tokyo, when you were in Paris for the Olympics, you were in the box, and I, one of my sisters, I think, noticed, like, the way that you just loved the kids, that you were, like, talking to the adults, but you saw kids there and you were like. Like the mother gene never leaves you.
Alona Mar
Yes. I think it was your coach's daughters. Yes. Yeah.
Olivia Mar
Oh, you can't. You just can't.
Alona Mar
It got. It got dicey in Paris because it's the longest I've been away from all three of the girls at that. And we. It got to a point where I was like, I need. I need to. I need to see children. That's what I need. I feel like my hands don't know what to do. And I like. I do. I don't. I'm not filling water bottles. I'm not opening snacks. Like, what am I doing with my life? And I saw the girls, and they were delightful, and they were very, very close to my girl's age. So then, of course, like, I'm like, what do you want to do? You want to color? You want to play hide and seek? What do we do?
Olivia Mar
What y' all up to?
Alona Mar
Yep.
Andrea Namar
Did you have the coloring supplies on you in that moment?
Alona Mar
I would have made them appear. I can. I can figure. We can. We can.
Andrea Namar
Got that kind of power to make it happen.
Alona Mar
Oh. But then the. My husband tells a story of when we were watching gymnastics after we left rugby, and I was like, jay, you got to turn around. See this baby back here? It's one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. The cheeks were in, like, the stadium headphones. They were like the cheeks. So the cheeks were. It was outstanding. And naturally, my husband turns around and goes, are you joking? I said, why? He said, michael Phelps is holding that baby.
Olivia Mar
You didn't see the Michael.
Alona Mar
I was so distracted by the cute child on his cheeks. And, like, of course, I know who, like, a very recognizable.
Olivia Mar
Like the guy who swims.
Alona Mar
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. He was like. He swam in, like, an Olympic. Yeah, something. One or. One. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. I think he has one. One or two medals. Yes.
Andrea Namar
Can somebody Google that?
Alona Mar
Yeah, he. Yeah, I. I would have recognized him, but I was too distracted by his child's cheeks.
Olivia Mar
So have you always had this mother gene in you? No.
Alona Mar
I mean, I still am not sure that I have it, to be honest.
Olivia Mar
You're like, maybe you're nursing.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
I don't know about this job.
Alona Mar
Yeah. Yikes. Yeah. No, I still, like, I tell everybody I'm winging it, so I don't even necessarily know that I have. I mean, I used my will say. Some of my college teammates still call me Mom. They don't even call me Kylie. So even back then they were calling.
Olivia Mar
You mom or something?
Alona Mar
Yeah. No, no. They called me mom back then.
Unnamed Speaker
You were like, the mom of the team.
Alona Mar
Yeah, very much.
Olivia Mar
And that didn't.
Unnamed Speaker
You've always had it then?
Alona Mar
No, didn't at all. I dropped them off at their dorms and then went back and didn't have that full responsibility. I can't drop the ones I have off now anywhere, really, and leave them without a care in the world. Yeah, they do.
Olivia Mar
I love babies. I've always been just a. I. They could be the cutest dog. But if there's a little baby around, I need them. Whereas these two are. Are like, yeah, they're cute.
Alona Mar
I love a baby. You love.
Unnamed Speaker
You walked in with your baby today. My head went, there's a baby in here.
Alona Mar
And you could feel its presence.
Unnamed Speaker
Absolutely. I love a baby.
Olivia Mar
I'm guessing talking more about, like, the mom gene. Oh, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
I'd love to hold a baby.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
I don't know.
Alona Mar
You like to borrow a baby.
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
Alona Mar
Sure.
Unnamed Speaker
I'd be a great aunt.
Alona Mar
I've always known that I wanted to have for, like, four kids. So I guess to some degree, I was like, yeah. Yes.
Andrea Namar
Okay, then that's your.
Alona Mar
Yeah. But also, now that I'm in motherhood, I would say before motherhood, I was like, give me all the babies.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
Now that I'm in motherhood, I'm like, am I doing this right every day.
Andrea Namar
For me, it's not about a gene, but even, like, hearing, like, oh, you're two years older than me.
Alona Mar
She's got four.
Andrea Namar
What am I like, am I behind? I'm not like. But, like, it's always that constant battle, like, there's no timeline. I'm not behind. It's just like, what's happening for me. And for me, it's always been like, I want the situations to be right, but I've never really had a partner where I'm like, I should bring a child into the world. So if it happens, hell yeah. But for now, I don't know. I would love to have a little.
Alona Mar
Baby eventually, but, yeah, don't rush it.
Andrea Namar
She alone is always talking about. She's like, I'm going to look amazing pregnant. Random date. We're like, hello.
Olivia Mar
She loves it. I believe that with my whole heart.
Andrea Namar
Why?
Olivia Mar
I don't know. I just feel it deep in my bones. Like, I just feel like this body was. Was made for it.
Andrea Namar
Right.
Olivia Mar
You know, I just. You know, it. Good hips. I got good birthing hips.
Alona Mar
I will tell you, the first time that I walked into my first OB appointment, one of the older OBs walked past me and was like, you're gonna be great.
Olivia Mar
And I was like, oh, and those ladies know.
Alona Mar
And it was. I got an explanation later. But the height.
Andrea Namar
Oh, why?
Alona Mar
Because it distributes differently. People will see me when I am eight, nine months pregnant, and they'll say, oh, wow, you're not really. Like, I would expect you to be bigger. And I'm like, do you know how much torso I have that this child has to hide in lot?
Andrea Namar
Wow.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
Great for Concerts.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
Great for pregnancy because you're.
Olivia Mar
You're a big. A big lady like us. 5:11.
Alona Mar
You can say big bitch or. We know we are.
Olivia Mar
We were saying a lot of other words the other day too. But you're 5 11, a big bitch.
Alona Mar
Yes. Thousand percent.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
And you love it.
Olivia Mar
How did you get to the point of loving?
Alona Mar
That took me a minute. It took me a minute. I went into high school at 5:10. So needless to say, the boys had not caught up yet. And it makes a really weird. No, they still have. It's weird.
Andrea Namar
Junior year.
Alona Mar
Yeah. No, they. It made for some really weird feedback of like, I got called a man a lot. I was also like, I've always been a member of the Itty Bitty Titty committee. That's me, myself and I. Yep. Hello. Representation is here. So it. Yeah, it's. I wasn't helping myself. So I was like tall. Flat as board. Yeah. I mean, I had. Had an ass.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
Yeah, you did.
Alona Mar
But the front. No. At one point I was told I was so flat, I was jealous of the wall. Oh, yeah.
Olivia Mar
Oh, that'll stick with you.
Alona Mar
There was an audible. Ooh, Ooh. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
You're probably also way better at SP than any of them ever could have been. Well, I just factored into it.
Alona Mar
I mean, God given you got like reach and legs. You're ordination, you're already three steps ahead in a few ways.
Olivia Mar
And you found field hockey through that. You were like, let me find the sport where the shortest people thrive.
Alona Mar
Where the shortest people thrive. I will do that.
Olivia Mar
Where I have to bend on the ground.
Alona Mar
Yes. I still make fun of myself about that. My dad tried to cement the hoop in the backyard and everything for basketball. He's 6 9. He was really trying. He was trying to. He was trying. It didn't stick.
Andrea Namar
Are you always asked if you play volleyball?
Alona Mar
All the time. There's, there's a rotation. It's like, did you play basketball? Did you play volleyball? Did you row? And that's where, you know, they're grasping at straws. They're like, I'm trying to come up with something. Nothing, Everyone. No.
Andrea Namar
You got asked if you did gymnastics once when somebody saw your Olympic hat.
Olivia Mar
Yeah. I was like, oh, I don't know. If you know gymnastics.
Alona Mar
You've never been near a gym.
Olivia Mar
This is on the. No, that's not right at all. Actually. I would not go far. But thankfully, I did feel lucky too. I remember we had to get like, get. Just go solo to the ground. But I always loved it. I thought it was a great sport. But then we did the basketballs and softballs as well. Yeah, we had a shot putter over here too.
Unnamed Speaker
Shot putter in discus. But I did field hockey. And I remember the coach would sometimes yell at me because I was too aggressive. And I was like, well, give me a sport that I can be aggressive in. And I feel like this should be it.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker
But then I was like, I guess I'll just put out my aggression with the heavy object.
Alona Mar
That works. Yeah, it was great that. It's funny because people, I don't think, realize that tall people excel at throwing, so.
Unnamed Speaker
And it's all so much in the legs.
Alona Mar
It is.
Unnamed Speaker
They think you need to have so much upper body strength. I'm.
Alona Mar
So if you're using. If you're using your upper body, especially for shot put, you are going to injure yourself.
Unnamed Speaker
Absolutely.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
Interesting.
Andrea Namar
Did you shot put?
Alona Mar
You know, I did shot disc jab.
Andrea Namar
Oh, I was going to say. Did you play it other sports?
Alona Mar
I. I did. You know, you. You start with everything. Like when you're younger, you test it all out. Lacrosse, soccer, all of it. And then I don't necessarily know that I leaned into gymnastics. I think we saw the writing on the wall with that one. I Irish dance for a long time. Long time.
Unnamed Speaker
Oh, I saw a video.
Alona Mar
Yeah, that was great. Yikes.
Andrea Namar
Whose idea was that? Was that Mom's idea, Dad's idea? Where did that come from? That seems so specific.
Alona Mar
I don't know. The town that we lived in is very, very Irish. So we just leaned in, I think, and my sister did it. And, you know, as soon as the older sister's doing it, you're like, when can I do it?
Andrea Namar
Right.
Unnamed Speaker
Story of my life.
Alona Mar
Yeah, I'm next. Put sub me in. And that's. Yeah, it was a lot of years of fetches.
Andrea Namar
I took a hip hop dance class once and my mom made her come with me and she was miserable and in the back of the class the whole time.
Olivia Mar
Sounds right.
Andrea Namar
And now who was on Dancing with the Stars? Interesting.
Olivia Mar
I didn't want to. I didn't want to get ahead of the game. That's why I didn't do the hip hop dancing I wanted.
Alona Mar
I don't want to use this up now. Yeah, you saved it.
Olivia Mar
Do you see any of those sorts of like, pairings within your own daughters? Like, do you see, like. I know they're very young, but do you think the two close in age will be like, closer? Or is it the. The two middle or.
Alona Mar
It's funny right now, our two oldest are only 17 months apart, so for a while, they would sort of. They were, like, thick as thieves. Like, they would go and do stuff. Our oldest would always be like, push it off the counter. Like. And I would be like, I can hear you. And then our second would be like. And push it off the counter. I'm like, you didn't have to do. You didn't have to do it. But now our second and our third seem to be pairing up.
Andrea Namar
Oh.
Alona Mar
So I'm a little bit worried about that because of the. The power of suggestion, how it works on our second and how manipulative our third is.
Olivia Mar
So third to the second.
Alona Mar
Our third child is. I mean, she's. She's manipulative to everyone. I want to. I want to clear that up. She's. She's. I mean, batshit crazy. She is, right?
Andrea Namar
How so?
Alona Mar
I mean, she's 2 years old. Freshly 2.
Andrea Namar
Right.
Alona Mar
Well, February. End of February, she turned 2. And she is actively trying to do things to better her day.
Olivia Mar
Okay.
Alona Mar
And. And not in. Well, not in a. Not in a straightforward way. So recently, she poured some water on herself. I watched her. She went to take a drink and then thought about it, poured some water down herself, and then promptly went to the nearest adult and went, dress wet. Take it off. And I said, I'm gonna see how this plays out, person. Like, I'm pretty sure it was my husband takes the dress off. And then she goes, I get new dress. Come on. And I was like, ooh. Because we had recently had a conversation about how mom's not doing laundry just to do laundry. And so we're not gonna wear 17 outfits in a day. We're not doing. We're not doing that. Apparently, we are doing that. So she made sure that could happen. Lucky for me, my mom did a little. I mean, she worked. I bow down to her. She knows what she's doing. She tried to pull the same shit with my mom, and my mom said, no, we don't need a new dress. I'll pop it in the dryer. You'll have it back in 10 minutes. And I was like, get her lease.
Olivia Mar
So what did she think of that? Was she okay with it? She was scared of her.
Alona Mar
She was stumped. She was stumped. It's one of those times where, like, she didn't even have the space to cry about being upset about that. That choice because she was so deep in, like, the. How'd you get one over on me? How'd you work that? Yeah, exactly. You won the battle, you won't win the war situation.
Andrea Namar
What do they call your mom?
Alona Mar
Nana.
Andrea Namar
Nana, okay.
Alona Mar
It's a very soft, like, sweet name. Is appropriate. She's like, the best.
Andrea Namar
She's a nana.
Alona Mar
She's. She's a nana.
Olivia Mar
Are the. From what I hear is like, are the terrible twos real?
Andrea Namar
Have you.
Alona Mar
Did you.
Olivia Mar
Have you found it from every kid?
Alona Mar
No. They each have an age that they've hit where I'm like, oof, there it is. Our four year old right now. When she hit four, I was like, what is that? No. Yeah. No.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
Do you ever get worried that when your kids get older and we'll see the clips of you talking about them when they're younger?
Alona Mar
I hope they do. Yeah, I know they do, because I'm be like, do you know what? Do you know what mom was going through?
Andrea Namar
You did that. True.
Alona Mar
Yeah. You did that. I didn't lie.
Andrea Namar
Didn't sugarcoat it.
Alona Mar
Not gonna.
Olivia Mar
You know what's funny is I can pretty much tell the story of how you and Jason met.
Alona Mar
Isn't that horrible?
Olivia Mar
Because the amount of times you have to share it.
Alona Mar
Aren't you so sick?
Olivia Mar
I was like. Well, see, the thing was, she was on an app, and then she went and met him at the bar, and he was. He was so drunk. Right.
Alona Mar
And. But she. He's.
Olivia Mar
She's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen in his life. Like, I. I can tell it.
Alona Mar
How did you feel?
Olivia Mar
You're just telling that.
Alona Mar
Nailed that. I know. Oh, my God.
Olivia Mar
Carried him home.
Alona Mar
Yes. Legitimately. So, yeah, you're good. That's it.
Andrea Namar
We're good.
Alona Mar
That's how we met. The end. I'm bringing you next time.
Olivia Mar
Next time.
Alona Mar
I'm like, hold on, please, Alona.
Olivia Mar
Well, so we're all single here. Yes, we're all single. Bigger, tall women. Yes.
Andrea Namar
With no personality.
Olivia Mar
With no personality among any of us.
Alona Mar
Clearly nonchalant.
Olivia Mar
I guess I'd like to know, do you have any, like, tips for us as we enter this? We're in the scene, not entering it. We're in it.
Andrea Namar
We've been in it.
Olivia Mar
We've been in it. Like, it's kind of. We're posted up. Do you have any tips for us also? Like, I think even being a taller, bigger girl, like, I sometimes feel self conscious about it or I. I'm like, oh, I don't know if he would like me because I am, you know, bigger or more muscular.
Alona Mar
So I've seen a clip recently. I believe it was a house of Mark clip, where you said that you would accept a smaller.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
A man of smaller stature.
Kylie
Yes.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Unnamed Speaker
Sure.
Olivia Mar
Yes, I would.
Alona Mar
Was. Is that a yes from everyone?
Andrea Namar
Depends on how funny they are. Well, okay. If you've got someone, you send them out.
Alona Mar
Do you have someone? I mean, come on, guys.
Andrea Namar
Deadass.
Olivia Mar
Kelly, stop. I just started blushing.
Unnamed Speaker
Guys, guys, we're all looking to be set up.
Alona Mar
Come on.
Unnamed Speaker
And if it's got your approval, I think height.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
It doesn't matter.
Alona Mar
Okay. I. I have to be honest. I always. I. I was always like, they have to be taller. I think having a dad that was so much taller than me, like, being around people in our family, like, even my aunts are, like, significantly taller. I was like, this is something I'm not going to waver on. I'm going to hold firm. But you know what? Short kings, they love to be like, I'm going to climb that tree. I've been told that line multiple times.
Olivia Mar
And it works. How many?
Alona Mar
Zero.
Olivia Mar
Yeah, there you go.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, good point.
Alona Mar
I am very grateful that I'm not on dating apps right now, because when I was on Tinder, I like to remind people of this. You couldn't, like, pay 99 cents and back up. You know what I mean? Like, once you swiped left, they were gone forever.
Unnamed Speaker
Forever.
Alona Mar
Like, they. I mean, I don't know how that works now, but I hear there's, like, ways you can.
Unnamed Speaker
There's subscriptions.
Alona Mar
Go back to other. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
And you hear.
Alona Mar
It's.
Andrea Namar
It's spooky out here. Right? You've been hearing these?
Alona Mar
I have heard.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
Which app is it that has voice memos hinge.
Unnamed Speaker
And it is the scariest thing in the world.
Alona Mar
My God. Because. Well, I've heard the voice memos when they're funny. I have not heard creepy ones.
Olivia Mar
Oh.
Unnamed Speaker
Because some people are trying to be funny and they're just missing the mark. And also, I have a firm belief that every guy is lowering their voice several pitches to sound when they recorded and sexier. And it's so. I'm already automatically grossed out from that. And it's just like, the weirdest thing. It's like their impression of, like, share. And it's the worst thing you've ever heard. And it's not. It's so bad. That's not even funny.
Alona Mar
Sure.
Unnamed Speaker
And it's just.
Alona Mar
I also.
Unnamed Speaker
It feels so intimate to hear your voice when I'm just on your profile like that. So I don't like it.
Alona Mar
It does seem weird. Yeah. I don't even know If I have advice, I know it's okay. Rough.
Unnamed Speaker
Rough out here.
Olivia Mar
How tall is Jason?
Alona Mar
He's six, three.
Olivia Mar
Okay, okay, so for you.
Alona Mar
But. But really, that's one of the reasons why I. I think why I swiped right was because he had all these pictures with, like, people next to him and I was like, oh, big.
Andrea Namar
That's a big boy.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
And then other than that, what else drew you to him? Like, was it. What's. What about it? Like, conversation. His personality. Funny.
Alona Mar
It's funny. His bio was extremely sarcastic. It was like, I wanna have long conversations and talk about, like, having babies or something. Like, it was. It was so sarcastic that I was like, yeah.
Andrea Namar
Sarcasm can be hard to do. Especially communicate via very much words on a screen.
Alona Mar
Yeah. And then jokes on him. Because we did all of it. Yeah, he did all of it. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Manifest.
Alona Mar
He did. He didn't even know it.
Andrea Namar
King of manifestation.
Unnamed Speaker
Careful what you write.
Alona Mar
Long, emotional conversations. Babies.
Unnamed Speaker
Babies.
Alona Mar
Nailed it.
Olivia Mar
Well, I'm not. I'm still thinking about my partner. Now that you have for me. If you have somebody for me. We'll talk later.
Andrea Namar
Up on that.
Olivia Mar
Why am I planning a life with him already?
Alona Mar
I will say the short king really opens. Like, opens it up.
Olivia Mar
Yes. My thing is, is first off, I'm really not getting any bites, so I'm just going to start lowering standards. I'm just kidding. I won't. Maybe I will.
Alona Mar
No, no.
Olivia Mar
But I. We're a family about, like, conversation and connecting in that way and, like, humor. Like, are they funny? A lot of people aren't funny. And if you can't make me laugh or at least think I'm funny, then I just don't see the point there. So I found some. Some really tall dudes.
Alona Mar
They didn't need to.
Olivia Mar
No.
Alona Mar
That's it. That's it. They didn't need to work for it. No. Because everything is just. You're tall.
Olivia Mar
Girls will love it.
Alona Mar
That's it.
Andrea Namar
Come flocking to you.
Alona Mar
No, I do understand that aspect of it. I. I think. Okay, maybe I do have advice. I think maybe you lean into a slightly nerdier demographic.
Andrea Namar
Yep, I'm down already there.
Alona Mar
Because. Are you. Because that's. Yeah, that's. I say it all the time. My husband was a saxophone player. Competition, jazz band in high school. That's bad. That's balance right there.
Andrea Namar
That's balance. And that doesn't get you going.
Olivia Mar
I don't know. What will.
Unnamed Speaker
I say. Guys are lying on profiles to make it seem like they're more nerdy than they are, because I was duped on a date. It was, like, a year ago, and.
Olivia Mar
I was like, oh, he's cute.
Unnamed Speaker
He's a little nerdy. And I went on this date. Why is it a surfer guy in front of me?
Olivia Mar
He was too hot.
Andrea Namar
Damn.
Unnamed Speaker
She was trying to be too cool. Like, I'm talking, like, shirt unbuttoned a little bit up here. Like, the glass is gone. Like, tossled.
Andrea Namar
It wasn't authentic.
Unnamed Speaker
It was totally an act. And I was like, what is going on?
Alona Mar
He had a glow up. And you were like, wanted the nerd.
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
I was like, this isn't what I agreed to. This is. I don't know you.
Andrea Namar
I'm down for a nerd. If it's like, the ones. The kind that showers and, like, has good hygiene.
Alona Mar
Sure. The ones that aren't in mom's basement.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who, like, working. What's the smartest? Like, science field, Cyber security.
Olivia Mar
Cybersecurity.
Alona Mar
Nice. Okay.
Andrea Namar
Okay. Yeah, we'll take one of them.
Unnamed Speaker
Do you know anyone in cyber security?
Alona Mar
I might have a connect. Guys, not me. Like, I'm like, I'm really thinking. I'm racking my brain over here. I got this.
Andrea Namar
If one of us marries somebody that you set us up with, you have to officiate the wedding. You are aware of that? You've signed seal, delivered that.
Alona Mar
Done.
Andrea Namar
Perfect. Have you ever officiated a wedding?
Alona Mar
No, but I'm game.
Olivia Mar
Heck, yeah.
Alona Mar
I'm so game.
Andrea Namar
Okay.
Alona Mar
Talk about how it started.
Andrea Namar
Right here, right here, right now.
Alona Mar
House of Marset, New York City. I love this so much. I'm doing it just so that I can do that.
Andrea Namar
Perfect.
Unnamed Speaker
Okay, great. She's gonna have a spreadsheet for Usach, too. Matchmaker.
Olivia Mar
Yes, a matchmaker. Sash, so you have a podcast. Not gonna lie where you are just completely honest yourself. Have you always been this way? Like, did you go through an awkward phase? Or were you always, like, to the point? Da, da, da, or how did it get that way? Did your sister help?
Andrea Namar
Was there a catalyst?
Alona Mar
I've always been that way. We. Our family is very much the straight to the point and talk about everything. So there was no secrets. There was no. There was no, like, being ashamed of anything. It was. We're going straight at it, and it's always in a kind way, but, yeah, always as honest as it gets. Really? I have one friend who's even more honest than me. Sometimes when, like, you know, like, when you need to hear it, I'm like, hey, ber, what do you think about this. It's a risky search. Yeah. And she'll straight up tell you. She'll tell you straight up. She's like, do not wear that. Do not step foot out of the house in that. That's not it. Try again.
Andrea Namar
Love that.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Do you notice friends avoiding you so that, like, they don't get the hard truth from you?
Alona Mar
No, because I will. I do read the room.
Olivia Mar
Okay.
Alona Mar
If I always say if I can't be honest, I just won't say it. So if I couldn't be honest with a friend about something because I know that they have a little bit more of a sensitive soul, I'll either land it significantly more gently, or we'll just leave that one alone.
Andrea Namar
Leave it alone. But maybe your silence is actually louder than anything in that case.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Alone as best friend and I will sometimes get together and be like, I can't talk to Alone about this because she's gonna be too real about it and make me come back to reality. I can't do that. I won't have it. I won't have it. She's being too. Too straight up, and she's making it way too much sense, too rational, too rational, way too much sense. That's. That's her.
Olivia Mar
For me, I have easier time like. Like, thinking so black and white with. With some things. Like they say, I'm like, no, you don't want to do that for other people.
Andrea Namar
She's not good at it for herself.
Olivia Mar
It's kooky up here, but, you know, this is like, this, this, this. And I imagine now, though, with your. Not sound like. It's not even like, kind of like you're moving into fame in a way in, like, such a different. It's had to also help you as well as, like, so many people want things from you. So much stuff is going on. You have to protect your kids and everything like that.
Alona Mar
Yeah. I think I'm still convinced that, like, the idea of fame, when it comes to me specifically, I'm like, nah, it's not happening. That's not a thing. That's not. Because it's not. I mean, I'm not like, I can. I can still, like, I equate it to, like, I can still go to the grocery store. I can still live my life and, like, not be disrupted on a daily basis. And I don't mean disrupted in, like, a negative way, but disrupted in, like, that, like, would see people out. I. I am by no means famous, and I like it that way.
Andrea Namar
Interesting.
Olivia Mar
Cool. You think that Is your sister like your best friend or do you have another best. Best friend? I love knowing about best friends. It's like my thing.
Alona Mar
I have other best friends. Yeah. My sister and I growing up because it was only the two of us. It was. We were either the best of friends or mortal enemies. And there was no in between. Like Jason, my husband obviously did not have any female siblings. He didn't have any sisters. He didn't have any. He didn't have any first cousins. Like the man. There was a reason he has four daughters. He needed that in his life. That was balance. I don't know. I just, I. My sister and I, we would fight and then the first time that Jason ever witnessed a fight was. He was like, that was pretty cutthroat. And then 15 minutes later, my sister and I, of course, naturally were like, are you hungry? What do you want? Do you want chipotle? Like, what are we getting? And he was like, what the. What was that? Why you just. But you were so mean to each other.
Andrea Namar
You disowned each other in that.
Alona Mar
Yeah. And I'm. I still, like, I still think back to like, oh, you were so blessed to not have to be in cat fights, but here we are. But no, I have like my closest friends. I have two friends from college who were my college teammates and one friend whose husband worked with Jason that are like, if I need anything or like, need to vent, really, I'm like, Annie.
Andrea Namar
Yeah. I have heard this sometimes about like sisters when it's just two of them because it's just the two, like back and forth instead of like, you know, almost a. A nice ping ponging relationship with more than that. So I guess your girls have that.
Alona Mar
To look forward to. Well, that's. I've heard that about girls. I like that. The fact that, like, if you say like, you guys were at odds, you have someone else to run to. I like that idea. Plus, my sister were like. My sister and I were three years apart, so I think we were like just on the cusp of like being involved in everything each other were doing and then having a, like, larger divide. So it was a little. It was, it was weird.
Andrea Namar
Yeah. Audrey on and I are 4ish years apart. And like, that was a great divide growing up. Like, we fought a lot growing up, but now as adults, like, oh, yeah, that's. That's my girl. Like, we get along okay.
Alona Mar
I was going to say, I can't remember the last time I fought with my sister. Yeah. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
I mean, we had a tiff in the airport yesterday.
Alona Mar
But like that was totally funny and.
Andrea Namar
She didn't think it was funny. But like I'm telling you because it.
Unnamed Speaker
Was something I told her to stop talking, impersonating.
Olivia Mar
She can push a John as button.
Unnamed Speaker
She loves to do it. And then if I would like this.
Andrea Namar
Here's the button. Press it. Like it's so easy. She literally flashes it neon.
Olivia Mar
There it is being pressed right now. Look at her. Look at her, Kylie. It's being pressed. Are brothers different then like are. We're Jason and Travis. Just like they do they.
Alona Mar
Oh, Jason said he would beat the. They just beat the physical which like, you know, every. Everyone has altercations with your sister ever. Not often. I think there was maybe once or twice where like, like hair got pulled. Yeah. And it was like, it's like the stuff that like you would be embarrassed about now because you're like, really? If we were going to fight, we should have fought. Like, yeah, pull on the back of the hair and.
Andrea Namar
You guys ever pull that illegal move, the kicking? Like you're.
Alona Mar
No, I used to mess with my dad and do that.
Andrea Namar
There you go.
Alona Mar
I used to do like the dead leg with my heel onto his leg. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
I was an au pair in the Netherlands between high school and university and I had all girls and my best friend over there was a Swedish.
Alona Mar
A Swedish girl and she had all.
Andrea Namar
Boys that she looked after. Right. And I was like, oh, well today we like braided each other's hair. We like baked a little bit. And she was. Looked like she was going through war. She was like, it's just penises.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
Everywhere.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Andrea Namar
Always like there's like little tiny boys, they're just like naked all the time, taking their pants off, taking diapers off, whatever.
Alona Mar
Or like grabbing their crotch.
Olivia Mar
Grab theirs.
Andrea Namar
Like we're having very different experiences.
Alona Mar
Yes, very. I will say we say Gina a lot in our house.
Andrea Namar
A lot.
Olivia Mar
Is that what you say? Is that all the time for it?
Alona Mar
Well, if you ask them to say the full word, it's ba. Gina with a B. Of course.
Andrea Namar
Unicornic.
Alona Mar
But yeah, it's. I can't imagine. I just recently was telling someone about how my husband, my mother in law has said that there was one day where she heard he has a knife and she went out on the front lawn and Jason had taken the kitchen knives and was throwing them up in the air and seeing if they could stick in the front lawn.
Olivia Mar
What?
Alona Mar
They also drove the station wagon into the garage door because they were playing in the car. And then another time here's a real doozy. Jason apparently talked Travis in. We might not be able to use this.
Andrea Namar
I am poor woman.
Alona Mar
That's what I'm saying.
Unnamed Speaker
Thank God you only have girls.
Alona Mar
No. Well, there was. There was one point when I had our third and my mother in law was like, yeah, you know what? Three girls still. Still better than two boys. I was like, you know what, Donna? From the stories you've told me, it seems like it.
Olivia Mar
And then you have a fourth one. She's like, this is actually still pretty good.
Alona Mar
Right? There are mornings where we're sitting down to start our day, eating a little bit of cereal and coloring, and I'm like, there's no way boy houses do this. There's no way. We're already like WWE SmackDown, right? No. No way.
Andrea Namar
You're doing a crossword.
Alona Mar
I'm sitting Nora Jones, Right. Radio. We're bird watching. Legitimately. That's legitimately what we've been doing.
Andrea Namar
Oh, really?
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Can you distinguish the birds by their sound?
Alona Mar
No, not by their sound.
Unnamed Speaker
That's coming.
Andrea Namar
That's coming. That's the next step.
Olivia Mar
I imagine you've talked about this before, but Jason gets. Or you both get the. You gotta. You're gonna have a son. Huh? Which was our dad, too, was like, man, it's a lot of girls in the house. How do you do it? He's fine, guys.
Andrea Namar
He is fine.
Olivia Mar
He's doing better.
Alona Mar
Yes. Yeah. I've tried to explain this to people. The universe knew that my husband needed this much female influence in his life, and he's been blessed. Teenage years might be rough, like when puberty hits. Yikes.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
And then, like, two, we're all synced.
Olivia Mar
Up, and one gets a period, the other gets period.
Alona Mar
Yeah, that's it. We're gonna start dating. It'll literally be a whole month worth of, like, every kid can take a week because they just keep sending each other off.
Andrea Namar
And that was our problem. We never, like, knew when was happening. But, like, our dad, like, we would be raging around the house like high school or whatever. And, like, you never think like that that's what it could be.
Unnamed Speaker
Every.
Andrea Namar
Every month, I am surprised. I' that's like clockwork. But, like, growing up, we'd be, like, raging worse than usual, like, beyond him. And, like, our dad would have to, like, quietly be like. And like, when are you set to, like, have that period now? What do you know when it comes the next day?
Unnamed Speaker
Sometimes he wouldn't even ask that, but he could kind of. I think he was keeping track in his Mind and Olivia low iron. So when he knew that our period was about to come, he would remind us, don't forget to take your iron pill.
Andrea Namar
Those iron pills are on the counter.
Alona Mar
What a nice subtle way to be like, hey, it's coming. And you're actually being a.
Unnamed Speaker
Taking your iron pill today, girl.
Andrea Namar
Dads take note.
Olivia Mar
Does that even now though.
Andrea Namar
He.
Olivia Mar
He does that even now as adults. Like I'll be in a mood and he'll know a couple times he's done it.
Andrea Namar
It's quite.
Alona Mar
See that, that's such a nice way. My dad would be like, hey, yo, strap on the king, Cody. It's coming.
Olivia Mar
Is happening.
Alona Mar
And that's on. Having that many sisters.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Cuz you. Yeah, you grip around him.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Why so many kids? Irish Catholics.
Olivia Mar
There you go.
Unnamed Speaker
Our dad's one of five.
Olivia Mar
Yep, one of five.
Andrea Namar

That's literally it.
Olivia Mar
Today's tea time is brought to you by LinkedIn. Go to LinkedIn.com jobs to more confidently navigate your job search and discover your next opportunity.
Unnamed Speaker
We've all experienced major life changes in the last few years. I recently quit my job.
Alona Mar
Congratulations.
Unnamed Speaker
Thank you so much. And so I'll be using LinkedIn soon. Olivia went from being a showrunner's assistant to content creator of Girl Dinner and Alone as manager. And Alona has been putting in the work on and off the field.
Olivia Mar
Kylie, on top of having four girls, you're a podcast host, a feel hockey coach, and you work with the Eagles Autism Foundation. Is there anything you can't do?
Alona Mar
Yes, lots of things. Most things.
Olivia Mar
Give us one.
Alona Mar
Even some of the things that I'm doing jokes on you all. Yeah, I don't. I mean the list is lengthy.
Andrea Namar
Master of all trades, so. Or. Sorry, not Master of all trades.
Unnamed Speaker
Was it Jack of all trades?
Andrea Namar
Jack of all trades, we call ourselves that. Would you call it like you could do everything a little bit. You can do it.
Alona Mar
Well, I'll try my best.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, There we go.
Alona Mar
For sure. I'll give it a good old try. Yeah, yeah. Yes, that.
Andrea Namar
Put that here with a rainbow.
Unnamed Speaker
Are you a DIY girl?
Alona Mar
No, cuz I'm not crafty enough. I am the type of person, though, in less of, like, the DIY small home projects. I am like, the. Oh, I need to move the table. Get a dresser upstairs, roll up this rug. Like, I'll do it by myself. Yeah, I don't. I'm. You know, it'll get done. Yeah, why not?
Andrea Namar
Do you use girl measurements all the time? Yeah. What's your. What's your go to arm wingspan?
Alona Mar
Or I'll, like, compare it to something else in the room.
Andrea Namar
Nice. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one.
Alona Mar
I like that.
Unnamed Speaker
Kylie, could you walk us through your career trajectory? How did you get from graduation day to here?
Alona Mar
I graduated from Cabrini University with a degree in communication.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, me too.
Alona Mar
Look at us putting it.
Unnamed Speaker
Look at you now.
Alona Mar
Communicating. Putting it together. Communicating. I know, I know. This really. This kind of, like, podcast kind of validates spending that much money on a degree.
Andrea Namar
Did you have to, like, focus on something or was it just communication?
Alona Mar
We did not.
Andrea Namar
Interesting. They made me, like, focus on journalism or pr. Like, both, like, weirdly. Anyway, keep going.
Alona Mar
No, we. We were able to dabble in whatever, and then we could continue on with, like, I did radio for most of my.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, look at you now.
Alona Mar
Crazy, crazy. Full circle. Got it. But I. When I graduated, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and definitely couldn't pick something in communications. Look at that. So I ended up going to be a one to one, an instructional assistant with individuals on the spectrum or with, like, learning disabilities in a high school. And I did that for two years and then transitioned out of that because we were starting our family. But that was. I still say that was my favorite job I've ever had, really. So when my kids are old enough, you can catch me back in that classroom. It was like a life skills classroom. It was preparing kids for transitioning out of high school and into the real world. And it was so fulfilling and so much fun. And no day was the same, which was exhilarating.
Andrea Namar
How did you find that? Did you see a job posting? Did you know people that did that already?
Alona Mar
So I have a connection to the autism community through my neighbor. I call him my brother Tim. And we grew up together. And so I had experience with individuals on the spectrum. And so I. My mom works in the school district and she told me about the posting and I just said, that actually sounds like a good time. And it was a great time. But then after that, I was coaching field hockey. Then I continued coaching field hockey. I still have not stopped coaching field hockey. We'll see when that ball drops. But, yeah, then we started our family and sort of. I just was sort of holding it down with kids and then Covid, you know, that thing. And yeah, I've sort of dabbled in a couple things here and there. But when push came to shove, the Eagles started their Eagles Autism Foundation. I stepped in there in volunteer capacity. They realized they were not going to get rid of me, and then they brought me on in an official capacity. So for a while, I was actually employed by the Eagles Autism foundation as an event consultant. So they have one event every year that's raised millions and millions of dollars for the autism community, and it's a blast. And I was able to be a teeny, tiny little part of that. We have since had to reimagine my role because I can't do it in the capacity that I was doing it in. I try, but then get stopped quite a bit. It.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
So it's hard to be working the logistics of an event and then have people like, hey, I. I want to talk to you. Let's take a picture. And I'm like, I'm actually. This walkie is not for show. There are people talking to me right now. Yes. But, yeah, it's. That's. And then ultimately it got to a point where we were being talked about so much that in sort of this bump of crazy that's happening in our lives. And I was like, I can't have people keep talking about me when I will set the record straight happily, like, you can just come to me and ask me. And so that's what. That's how not gonna Lie was born.
Unnamed Speaker
And if people would like to donate. Is it. What's the. What's the link?
Alona Mar
Eaglesautismfoundation.org we have an event coming up at one of the Jersey Shore bars. My husband guest bartender some of his.
Andrea Namar
Shore or just on. On the shore of Jersey.
Alona Mar
More South.
Andrea Namar
Cool.
Alona Mar
I will say the show accurately depicts Seaside Heights.
Andrea Namar
I've been there.
Alona Mar
I've been there once. Accurate. Yes. But we are more South. Less gym, tan, laundry.
Andrea Namar
Okay. If you choose, I imagine.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
But we've held the event. This will be the fifth year. And they. A bunch of Jason's former teammates and current Eagles players will come down and guest bartend. And people literally throw money across the bar.
Andrea Namar
Hell yeah.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
It's like stripping, but for bartending pretty much.
Olivia Mar
That's great for a good cause.
Alona Mar
Yeah. Word on the street is someone's ending up in a Speedo this year.
Andrea Namar
How are they ending up in it.
Alona Mar
Well, it could be my husband.
Andrea Namar
Right.
Unnamed Speaker
How do you feel about that?
Alona Mar
I mean, I feel. I mean, I, I'm. I would love to see my husband.
Andrea Namar
For sure.
Alona Mar
Why not? I don't know that I necessarily want to see everyone else seeing my husband.
Olivia Mar
In a Speedo, but yeah, he's not been in one. I feel like he's been in one.
Alona Mar
He's been in a lot of different outfits. He was in a diaper.
Olivia Mar
Okay. That's when I saw him.
Alona Mar
Yeah. On the stage in Kansas City when they did a live show. Oh, New Heights. Maybe he was bald then. He got his head shaved.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
He was wearing a bucket hat.
Olivia Mar
Huh.
Unnamed Speaker
Is that what you have to do to have a successful podcast?
Alona Mar
Wear a bucket hat and shave your head?
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah. Maybe diaper.
Andrea Namar
Thank you. That tick tock audio, that's like. That's mine.
Alona Mar
Yes, it is.
Andrea Namar
That's my man. I'm standby.
Olivia Mar
That's me.
Alona Mar
I already, I already had to do that. About his flip flops.
Andrea Namar
What do you mean?
Alona Mar
He wears flip flops? Apparently. That's an ick of a lot. That's. Yeah, it's an ick of a lot of women and not me.
Andrea Namar
Not you. In like cities and stuff too. Because like open toed in like New York City is like a big no. No. To many people. He'd just be dogs barking on the.
Alona Mar
Streets of New York. Wow. Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
Olivia did just wear flip flops in an airport and I was an insane.
Andrea Namar
It freaked me out.
Alona Mar
Oh, so Jason does that all the time and that to me, every time I have to like look at the ceiling so that I don't see his bare feet touching the floor.
Olivia Mar
He doesn't have pre check?
Alona Mar
No. Oh, he refuses to pay for it. He thinks it's a scam. What guys?
Andrea Namar
Hours of your life back.
Alona Mar
No, he's convinced that it's a scam. He's like, I'm not paying extra. Conspiracy.
Andrea Namar
I saw. I was just on a flight recently where the. It was like a couple sitting next to me and he took his shoes off immediately, which is like. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Alona Mar
But do you have socks on?
Andrea Namar
No, no, no, no socks. And then also took multiple trips to the bathrooms. No.
Alona Mar
Nope. No, no. My germaphobia would be. Yeah. No.
Andrea Namar
And his wife was just there chilling, reading her thriller like the entire time. Didn't blink an eye.
Alona Mar
Nope.
Andrea Namar
Wow. That's love. That is love.
Alona Mar
No.
Andrea Namar
God.
Alona Mar
Oh, God, no.
Andrea Namar
Let's get one thing straight. The Mars sisters do not wonder if we're qualified. We know we are. But finding a job in this economy, that's the tricky part because the job search can feel like dating apps for your career. Too many options and no one wants to waste time on a bad fit.
Olivia Mar
That's why you need a partner that stepped it up. And that's where LinkedIn comes in. They're rolling out new tools that help you confidently navigate and easily discover the opportunities that aren't the most relevant and align with what matters most.
Unnamed Speaker
Whether you're looking to work in sustainability, a tight knit startup, or just want something that aligns with your goals, LinkedIn can help you discover those jobs through their job collections and rather going scrolling through a thousand listings reading every single job description. You can use LinkedIn's job match feature to focus on roles that fit your skills and experiences.
Andrea Namar
So whether you're fresh out of college, switching careers, or just ready to discover something new, go to LinkedIn.com jobs to more confidently navigate your job search and dare to discover your next opportunity.

More at applecard.com Women's sports have finally blown up. Now more than ever. Who are you watching? Who are you excited about? I mean you got to see a little bit of rugby, but is there just like, like some sport person that really gets you, gets you excited?
Alona Mar
I think what's going on in the WNBA right now is really exciting. I think that's, it's the most obvious because of how many stars have sort of broken into that recently. I just love the fact that at any given point you can sort of surf the channels and find women's sports. That to me is a game changer. Like just the other day we ended up watching some college softball because it was being aired and when I was in college even I don't necessarily think it was as commonly broadcast. So it's so exciting to have. And it's not even just like a feed, right? It is a full blown broadcast where they're producing it. There are very great play by play and color commentary. It's fully engaged in a way that makes me really excited for just, just everything that's going on for women's sports.
Olivia Mar
Could you ever see yourself like being a part owner of a team or getting out there? I mean that seems to be a.
Alona Mar
I would never say no.
Olivia Mar
Yeah, because there is a crazy, like there's not enough teams for all these athletes that are coming out. It's. It's cutthroat out there to be in the WNBA.
Andrea Namar
Really?
Olivia Mar
Yeah, because there's what, 12, 12 spots on a game and you got, you know, all these draftees that come out there. A lot of these women aren't making it because there's not enough space and.
Unnamed Speaker
There'S a lot of injuries. Even less space.
Andrea Namar
Is there salary caps in the wnba?
Alona Mar
There are.
Olivia Mar
They're crazy salary.
Andrea Namar
Oh my gosh.
Unnamed Speaker
Especially in comparison to the.
Andrea Namar
Yeah. And for the mnba, how much more entertaining it is. Like when I'm scrolling in there's. Or when I'm like, you know, surfing channels. I'm not too great about like tuning into any sport that doesn't rugby. But like if softball is playing, that is so exciting. Like over a, like a baseball game, an MLB game. Unless you're there sitting in the stadium. But on tv, who wants to watch that? Women's sports are so much more engaging and exciting and like you get everyone's backstories and it's like I saw this thing about I saw a tick tock of a woman being like, you want me to watch the mnba? None of them even kiss. You know, this is like the dynamics and the relationships and it's like there's storytelling and like women just know how to put on a good show.
Unnamed Speaker
And like I love the sportsmanship.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
With women.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
I mean you've been in like, you know, professional football. Is there a difference between like personalities in football versus like women's sports? Like, are you seeing that? Like, I guess football is also a space of it as well. But I just think right now we're really seeing the rise in the, you know, the Angel, Reese, Caitlin Clark, these personalities.
Alona Mar
I just think that the way social media has opened up the doors for athletes to be able to bring people in in a more personal way and to get to know them so that they're more invested in what's happening on the court or on the field or on the pitch. I think that it's. I think that women specifically enjoy that degree of like guys will watch and they know what college the guys went to, they know what their stats are. But at the end of the day, I think women are more invested to be like, oh, I'm really cheering for her because her sister went to this college and I know so and so that knows her. And it's like we need like a deeper connection. And social media has Kind of provided that in a way that I think is only exciting people's soul to continue to support women's sports and the women who are playing them.
Olivia Mar
Well, I mean, I feel like it's right here. Yeah, I place where nobody knows, but, like, by being myself on social media has been, like, so cool. And even. I think even with Jason as well, his personality also, like, is. I mean, amazing player. Amazing player, but also, like, people getting the insight into who he is as well. People want that. They want to connect with you off the field, and then when they watch you on the field, they're like, oh, I know that person.
Alona Mar
It just makes it that much easier to cheer for you. Like, it makes it that much easier to cheer for the people who are participating, because it's like you're invested in them as a person as well.
Andrea Namar
And I think with the three of you, too, Jason, you know, you alone, it's like, you are all very authentic. Like, it's what you see is what you get. And I think people connect with that more. They can feel that about athletes. They're not like, you're not hiding anything. You're not trying to. You're not necessarily trying to put on a Persona and put on a good show. You're just being you. And people are loving it.
Alona Mar
Is.
Andrea Namar
You're showing the exact. Exactly. The person that's doing these incredible things on the field or on the court.
Alona Mar
Like, well, I think that's engaging. That's one of the funny things about sports and athletes specifically sort of picking up speed and in their fame, is that you worked so hard in your sport to be great at your sport. You didn't work so hard in your sport to get into a stadium and put on a show. Right? So you're not there to put on a show. You're there to be, like, the best, strongest, fastest, most agile athlete that you can be. And so I think you have no choice but to be authentic, because you came into that space in a completely different way. You didn't come into it to try and get followers or to try and get likes. You came into it because you were fucking trucking people and doing your job well. And people were like, oh, she's a badass athlete and she's hilarious. This. But you're, I would think, more capable of being authentic because of the way that you've sort of built yourself up in your career, I would say.
Olivia Mar
I think it's definitely like, that mixture of it, like, how much the. The people around me in my sport has helped me to be authentic as well. And like just translates so much to the things that I do outside it, how much it's carried over. And I guess with that, now that you're coaching, how are you coaching this next generation? Because I'm actually scared of this next generation. Like. Like, is it tough? What are you doing to. I don't. Cuz I know coaches for me were you remember your coaches? Like, they are a big impact on who you are as a person. Your personality, how are you coaching? And you know, why are you still doing it? I guess it's a lot.
Alona Mar
It is. I. I still coach hockey because I love hockey and I love getting to give these young women skills that you use later on in life. Right. Like there are so many situations in the workforce in your family where you need to like be able to work as a team. And so we're. We're not. Our record's not outstanding, you know, but we're ultimately. I know that these girls are walking away with a better understanding of like how to work as a team, how to treat your teammates with love and respect. I tell the girls all the time, this is your family. You don't have to like all of your teammates, but you do have to love and respect them. And so I think that prepares them to be able to room with a random roommate in college. It's those little things to get out into the workforce and have to work with a team in a professional space. You're all working towards a common goal. You can respect each other because of that and you can sort of use each other's assets the same way you would on a field to. To achieve that goal. So those are more the things that I'm looking to do because those are the things that I took from my coaches. My college coach was like this. I mean, she's this incredible example of a woman who has four kids. They were all raised on the side of a field hockey. Field field hockey and lacrosse field. She was coaching both lacrosse and field hockey at the D3 school that I went to. She is a cancer survivor. She has coached there for. She coached at that school for over 20 years. She was. She's just an outstanding example of a woman. And she continues to lift up other women once a season. She would bring someone in who was another outstanding example of a woman to speak to the team. Our entire coaching staff sort of lifted each other up. You could tell by the way they worked together that they knew what it meant to work in a team. And it was always just a really great environment. And those, like you said, are the coaches that stick with you. Like, I love Jackie. I'll always have love for Jackie. And she is an example of, like, who. How I would like to impact my players. Wow.
Olivia Mar
I gotta get on that team.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Olivia Mar
How competitive are you? Are you, like. Whatever you do, you're gonna absolutely destroy, like, pickleball with some friends. Are you going crazy?
Alona Mar
I have found peace.
Andrea Namar
Right.
Alona Mar
I have found the ab. Right. I have found the ability to give myself grace. The first or second time I try something, by the third time, I'm gonna get mad. I'm getting. No, I'm getting it. Like, if I'm not, I'm getting mad. Like, the kind of mad where you're like, are you good? And I'm like, yep, I'm fine. And it's like, not fine. Don't talk to her.
Andrea Namar
This is why you don't craft.
Alona Mar
Yeah, exactly.
Andrea Namar
You didn't get knitting on that second try. You're done.
Alona Mar
That's it.
Andrea Namar
Right? Right.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
We were playing banana grams at Christmas, and I was getting really mad when Olivia kept winning.
Olivia Mar
I was like. Which is crazy, because I'm not good at words.
Unnamed Speaker
It's the ones that I'm. I keep getting.
Olivia Mar
It's.
Alona Mar
It's not.
Unnamed Speaker
It's not me.
Olivia Mar
The bad letters.
Alona Mar
Jason and I are not allowed to play Settlers of Catana anymore because we were. For a while. We went through a phase of playing it on the phone version because it was only the two of us. So we would sit on the couch and, like, pass it back and forth. Like, pass and play.
Andrea Namar
Kind of romantic.
Alona Mar
No, it was. It was cutesy. Adorable.
Andrea Namar
Until it wasn't.
Alona Mar
Until it wasn't. He put the robber on my space and tried to pretend like he didn't. And I was like, this. You did that? So I, like, legitimately. It was like, it. It was. And then the other time, he went for the longest road, and I was like, you know, the longest road is mine. It's fine. I'm not. I'm bitter. But, like, I'm getting better about it.
Olivia Mar
So is Jason competitive like that, too? Okay.
Andrea Namar
You put the robber on her thing.
Unnamed Speaker
I'm scared.
Alona Mar
Part of it. Part of the problem with my husband is that he is good at everything. The first time he tries it, it's very frustrating.
Olivia Mar
Have you gotten into pickleball? You two could really kill it on the court there.
Alona Mar
I have tried pickleball. I wasn't terrible at it the first time, but enough that I was like. It was during a charity pickleball tournament. Which, like, don't look at me while I'm trying it. Don't look at me while I'm trying it.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
So do you. Are you. Are we pickleballing?
Olivia Mar
I just love pickleball. I think it's. I haven't played it in a while, but I think it's so great. But that's also my. You know the same thing about sports. Any sports.
Andrea Namar
Play pickleball.
Olivia Mar
Great stuff. Maybe a date night sometime. You and him just battling, just whacking these balls back and forth.
Andrea Namar
And it's the kind of thing where if you're already athletic, I think you'll get the hang of it and just be a big time. Have you played it?
Olivia Mar
I would say do it, but I'm scared that that might end in divorce, so I would just say no.
Alona Mar
Well, when we played the pickleball tournament, we were on the same team, so I do think that was helpful. I have said multiple times at this point that, that I recognize that my husband is good at everything he tries. And so us getting married to some degree was a tactic because you have to pick me on your team.
Olivia Mar
Smart.
Alona Mar
So if you're gonna win. I'm gonna win.
Andrea Namar
I'm gonna win.
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah, it's hard. I have played pickleball before. I really like it. But it is cutthroat in New York to get a court.
Alona Mar
Oh, they do this at the shore.
Unnamed Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And I'm like. I'm not even gonna try to, like, enter that world because I'm gonna get annoyed at everyone, like, having to reserve early in the mornings and this and that.
Alona Mar
Do they do the paddle reservation? Because that's what they do at the shore. You take your paddle and you put it in, and then it moves down so that it determines your spot in line.
Unnamed Speaker
I haven't done that because I'm not even getting that far. I've just heard, like, some people have to get, like, IDs for, like, the New York City parks to, like, be able to, like, reserve a court. That's for tennis as well.
Olivia Mar
And I'm serious.
Alona Mar
I'm not.
Unnamed Speaker
I'm not that serious about pickleball.
Andrea Namar
The paddle in line thing. My version of pickleball is I go estate sailing. And, like, for really good estate sales in Los Angeles, people will show up early and put, like, a jacket or a hat and line it up outside of the house as if they've been there, but they're not. They just showed up and then went and did it someplace else, too. So you get there and there's a lineup of junk of people in line and then you're way the frick back, even though you're physically there, ready for the.
Olivia Mar
The estate sale.
Andrea Namar
That would annoy me.
Unnamed Speaker
I would actually stand there just despite them.
Andrea Namar
I'm like, you weirdos.
Alona Mar
Do you jump the line? Then? How's that work? Are you then still in line behind?
Andrea Namar
I don't want jack disrupt la estate sale etiquette. I. I wouldn't want to be that person.
Alona Mar
You know what I would do? I'd walk up to the front, put the hat on, and walk inside. I'd be like, this one's mine, right? Hello. You don't really look like a fedora kind of gal, but here we are.
Unnamed Speaker
Something new.
Alona Mar
Whatever. Or the trinkets. Yeah.
Andrea Namar
In Paris, when we met and we were chitty chatting, we talked about girl dinner, and you mentioned that there was a place by your house.
Alona Mar
Carlino's Italian Market. Yeah.
Olivia Mar
Whoa.
Andrea Namar
There it is. There it is. I was like, I need to know more about this. Apparently they make like a girl dinner set with a little sticker on it too. And she sent me a photo of it later, and I was like, oh.
Alona Mar
Yeah, they do that.
Olivia Mar
What else do they have?
Alona Mar
Everything.
Olivia Mar
Homemade tiramisu.
Alona Mar
Everything. Oh, yeah. You know the best part? They have a tiramisu. It's called. I believe it's called tiramisu for two. Oh, yeah, that's cute. I take that thing home and I am like, I feel victimized by the label.
Andrea Namar
Right?
Alona Mar
Rip that sucker off. Go straight in with a fork. To who? To me.
Andrea Namar
To me.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
They spelled the two wrong.
Alona Mar
They did.
Olivia Mar
That's right.
Andrea Namar
Idiots.
Alona Mar
So silly. But yeah, they have everything. Tiramisu. I mean, chicken cutlet, all the. All the kinds of salads you could possibly imagine. Tomato pie. I do believe that's a. Yep. You all cocked your heads.
Olivia Mar
I know it. I know it.
Alona Mar
All of your heads went in the same direction. You're going to want to play that back.
Andrea Namar
Slow motion.
Alona Mar
It's basically this happy meeting between pizza. Like, what is the thick pizza? Sicilian pizza. And like, bruschetta, but with no cheese.
Unnamed Speaker
So raw tomatoes on top.
Alona Mar
I do believe they go in the oven.
Unnamed Speaker
Okay.
Alona Mar
I think it's like tomato sauce. There are some places who have a sauce that's like significantly more pureed.
Andrea Namar
That's not.
Alona Mar
That's not the good stuff. Well, it's just. I not. It's not what I grew up on.
Andrea Namar
So sad what I'm picturing.
Alona Mar
It's honestly delicious. It's good do you like bruschetta love? Yeah, you'd be. You'd be good about it.
Olivia Mar
Tomato pie place right by your house.
Andrea Namar
It's regular pizza, though.
Olivia Mar
Oh, why would they take that? They don't understand the culture.
Alona Mar
That's weird.
Andrea Namar
The culture?
Alona Mar
Well, that's like, when you go other places and they have Philly cheesesteaks, and I'm like, no.
Andrea Namar
Is it. No, because you're not in Phil. It's like champagne, but you can't have it outside of champagne. France.
Alona Mar
Precisely.
Andrea Namar
You can't have a Philly Cheese. Cheese. So Philly cheese, though. Let's ask this. Are you a believer in one form of cheese over the other? Isn't that, like, a big debate there?
Alona Mar
People get really butt hurt about cheese whiz.
Andrea Namar
Okay.
Alona Mar
Cheese whiz is essentially like canned cheese.
Andrea Namar
Okay.
Alona Mar
Yeah, yeah, exactly. What, you think you could do it out of the little. Yep. But it's warm and it slathers on nicely. I mean, it's disgusting.
Andrea Namar
Yeah.
Alona Mar
But also so delicious. I do. I'm not a whiz kind of gal. I get fried onions with extra American cheese.
Andrea Namar
Oh, so you're American girly.
Alona Mar
Yeah, yeah, it's outstanding.
Andrea Namar
Do some people do cheddar? I think I went to a place once in Philly and there was cheddar as an option.
Alona Mar
Really?
Andrea Namar
Sometimes it would be too oily.
Alona Mar
They should be put out of business.
Andrea Namar
Yeah. Okay.
Alona Mar
Have you had a chocolate cheese? I have not. Oh, my God. I just heard about this recently for the first time.
Unnamed Speaker
You have to. I love it. Olivia put me on it. There's a place right next to me that makes the best ones. Of course.
Andrea Namar
We're in New York right now. We should order them here. Keep going.
Unnamed Speaker
And I was in Philly in February, and we got a Philly cheesecake steak. And all my friends were kind of like. I feel like it's just missing some tomatoes. And, like, I feel like we should have a chopped cheese at this point.
Alona Mar
Okay, so what's on a cheese?
Unnamed Speaker
Well, it's. It's hamburger meat. But then they cut it up really fine. So it's just, like, grounds. Tomato, onion, American.
Andrea Namar
It's basically a cheeseburger that they've put into a hoagie.
Alona Mar
Okay.
Andrea Namar
But, like, some. There's something better because they've broken it all up. So it's like, it. More of the meat gets to be crispy. They melt the American cheese in there. It's the lettuce, tomato, onion, however you want it. And it's like, hot, fresh, and greasy.
Unnamed Speaker
And Like, I think it's a cousin of a cheesesteak.
Alona Mar
Yeah. Okay. If you needed to find something similar in Philadelphia, you can order a cheesesteak.
Andrea Namar
Take hoagie. Oh.
Alona Mar
Which will have tomatoes, lettuce, pickles if you want them.
Unnamed Speaker
That sounds up my alley.
Andrea Namar
It sounds delish.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar

Alona Mar
This thriller scene is just.

Unnamed Speaker

It's so specific. There's something magical about it. They're in another country.
Alona Mar
Like, they're.
Andrea Namar
She's got major glow up naturally. I do.
Olivia Mar
I love it.
Andrea Namar
Raven Simone is hair.
Olivia Mar
Take my ranking out of it. Where are you guys ranking it? I would just put that.
Unnamed Speaker
Put it Up.
Alona Mar
I fear that. Yeah, I'm. I. If I were ranking this by myself, I'm gonna tell you. I rank it lower. But because we're speaking, it's okay.
Andrea Namar
Yeah. Speak your truth. 4.
Alona Mar
4.
Olivia Mar
I think we save it. I do think you save four.
Andrea Namar
Four.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Unnamed Speaker
So you want alone. It's your favorite.
Alona Mar
I love it. Know. I love that the athlete is coming out. She's trying to be strategic right now. She's like, I don't want to get and have to put something.
Andrea Namar
There's no.
Alona Mar
There's no winning something lower.
Olivia Mar
I know, but put it at seven.
Unnamed Speaker
Put it at four alone.
Alona Mar
It's being true to yourself.
Andrea Namar
You gotta do four. I won't let you lie to yourself like that.
Alona Mar
Everyone else was ready to support you in a four.
Andrea Namar
She said seven.
Olivia Mar
That's. That's. That's only mine.
Andrea Namar
I'm telling Chris Pine on you. Him how to lose a guy in 10 days. I'm actually not a big fan of this movie. I find it very toxic and annoying. But I know that movies aren't supposed to be real life. But that's me. I will agree. She slays the yellow dress.
Alona Mar
Yes.
Andrea Namar
But that's me. What about you?
Alona Mar
I do love this movie. Really, I do.
Andrea Namar
What about it?
Alona Mar
I just like that she's kind of like a badass. Like, she's a little rough around the edges. Like, the hamburger scene. I feel like everyone can relate to, like biting into a hamburger like that. If you don't buy your hamburgers like that, what are you doing? You're eating your hamburgers wrong.
Andrea Namar
Right, right, right. That's just science.
Olivia Mar
I don't know if I've watched it enough to know that. I watched it once and I was.
Alona Mar
Like, okay, you've probably seen the meme of it because she, like, makes a joke about, I think, like one of her bosses behind her and then she's like. And like, I shouldn't do that.
Unnamed Speaker
Oh, I've seen it.
Olivia Mar
And that will be me. And we got a new gift out of that.
Alona Mar
Perfect.
Unnamed Speaker
Perfect.
Alona Mar
If we can go. We can go low. I don't feel that. That that strongly about it. I will say it is one of my favorite rom comps, but I don't strongly enough to bump it.
Olivia Mar
Let's put it seven, then.
Unnamed Speaker
Seven.
Olivia Mar
I would go higher, but that's just the only room we have. Well, let's put it high. 7.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, we're really finished up.
Olivia Mar
That's what I said.
Andrea Namar
We weren't strategic, but we just love rom com. So this is hard.
Unnamed Speaker
Eight.
F
Nine, ten, and one left.
Andrea Namar
Oh, my God.
Unnamed Speaker
This is how it always happens, though.
Alona Mar
I love that. This one is gonna have to be like, a crazy good to be strong, like, punch in the face kind.
Unnamed Speaker
Miss Congeniality.
Andrea Namar
Miss Congeniality iconic movie.
Alona Mar
I have gel in my hair.
Olivia Mar
I haven't slept all night.
Alona Mar
I'm starved, and I'm armed. Don't mess with me. Your note here says that Jason ended up watching it by himself because I told my nieces who are. I call them my nieces. They're actually just like our family friend. Friends. But I told them they're 16, 17. I told them that they. Or yeah, 16, 17. I told them that they needed to watch Miss Congeniality, and they were like, we've never seen that before. And I was like, I think we need to watch this. We put it on and then got a little sidetracked and left Jason in the living room after he really put up a fight about putting on Miss Congeniality, and then he continued to sit there and watch it the entire movie about.
Olivia Mar
It's a good one. I feel like that one works for men and women. That's a great movie.
Andrea Namar
Yeah, it's just a good movie.
Alona Mar
It is so good.
Andrea Namar
FBI agent meets pageantry meets.
Alona Mar
I mean, when she launches herself off the. Off the stage in the, like, leader goes in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Olivia Mar
Whatever it is, it's not number one, I think, though.
Unnamed Speaker
No, it's less rom than it is calm.
Olivia Mar
So think about it. It's hilarious.
Andrea Namar
They do have a pool kiss scene, though. No. Or do they just go in the pool together?
Alona Mar
He yanks her in the pool.
Andrea Namar
He yanks her in the pool. I was gonna say that.
Alona Mar
I don't think they kiss until the very bitter end. They really make you hold out for it.
Andrea Namar
Slow burn.
Alona Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Love it. Which does kind of suck because, like, it wasn't until she had a glow up that he saw her as, like, beautiful. So. Yeah. This isn't a romance.
Olivia Mar
The way that she was, though. I don't know if I would have seen her as before.
Alona Mar
You're a little rough around the edges. You see the way she was tearing.
Olivia Mar
Apart that steak, the way she ate the food. I know we're all for women here, but she was being a little aggressive when she was. She's eating that steak at the counter.
Alona Mar
And then chugging a blue.
Olivia Mar
Barbecue. All right, let's give men some credit.
Andrea Namar
Okay, I'm sorry, but let's put this one at nine.
Unnamed Speaker
Let's go nine. Let's go nine. It's More comedy than rom com.
Andrea Namar
Crazy rich Asians.
Olivia Mar
I love this one. I can watch it whenever I want to play and I feel like I gotta watch it. You have to watch it.
Andrea Namar
It's actually illegal to not, Isn't it?
Alona Mar
It Isn't that where you watch it?
Andrea Namar
That's where you watch it.
Alona Mar
Okay. Because I've watched it like two or three times and it's always been on airplane.
Olivia Mar
Yeah.
Andrea Namar
Why is it so good to watch on an airplane?
Alona Mar
I don't know. But I'll tell you what. When that wedding starts and the water runs down.
Olivia Mar
Oh, my gosh.
Alona Mar
I don't know what it is. It ignited something in my soul. I was like, I'm gonna walk down and run the way that's flooded. I was like, why didn't we. Yeah. Wet our. What's going on?
Andrea Namar
Where was my water?
Olivia Mar
Yeah, and the song too. That's. That was really beautiful.
Andrea Namar
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Alona Mar
God.
Olivia Mar
But in a way, he didn't tell her she was rich. We're putting it at nine.
Andrea Namar
We're putting it almost. Could we even go ten? Because it's, oh, it's not really calm. It's funny. But also, they're already in love. Like, it's not like a romcom.
Unnamed Speaker
Like, and he lied to her their entire relationship.
Andrea Namar
10.
Olivia Mar
Not saying we didn't. We won't watch it all the time.

The episode begins with the Maher sisters warmly welcoming their special guest, Olympic rugby player Kylie Kelce. Olivia Maher introduces Kylie as "the mother of four daughters, fuel hockey coach, and advocate for the Eagles Autism Foundation." Alona Mar adds a playful touch, highlighting Kylie's multifaceted role within her family and community.
Olivia Maher [01:35]:
"Kylie, you're an icon yourself. You're the host of the chart-topping sensation that is the 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast. And because you don't lie, you're gonna tell straight up."
[02:26 - 04:00]
The sisters transition into their regular segment, "Touch Grass," where they discuss grounding topics and share personal insights. This episode focuses on the experiences of only children and whether the Maher sisters trust them. Alona reflects on her cousin Marissa's upbringing and the nuances of the only child experience.
Alona Mar [03:10]:
"I will say the closest only child I have to me is my cousin Marissa. But she was tagged in with my sister and I to a degree that I feel like she did not fully receive the only child experience."
[04:00 - 07:00]
Alona delves into her journey as a mother and a field hockey coach. She shares heartfelt stories from her time coaching in Tokyo and Paris during the Olympics, emphasizing the maternal instincts that surface when interacting with children. The balance between her professional responsibilities and family life is a recurring theme.
Alona Mar [04:08]:
"I need to see children. That's what I need. I feel like my hands don't know what to do. And I saw the girls, and they were delightful, very close to my girl's age. So of course, I'm like, what do you want to do? You want to color? Play hide and seek?"
[08:00 - 12:00]

Olivia humorously refers to herself as the "matriarch of the next generation," a title that sparks playful banter.

Alona emphasizes how social media allows athletes to build deeper relationships with their audience beyond just statistics and game performances.
Alona Mar [45:07]:
"Social media has opened up the doors for athletes to bring people in in a more personal way and to get to know them so that they're more invested in what's happening on the court or on the field or on the pitch."
[17:00 - 27:00]
Olivia seeks advice on navigating the dating scene as taller women. The sisters discuss societal perceptions, personal insecurities, and the dynamics of dating "short kings." Alona humorously shares her own preferences while Andrea emphasizes the importance of qualities like humor and genuine connection over physical attributes.
Olivia Maher [21:12]:
"If you can't make me laugh or at least think I'm funny, then I just don't see the point."
Alona Mar [18:32]:
"I am very grateful that I'm not on dating apps right now, because when I was on Tinder, I like to remind people of this. You couldn't, like, pay 99 cents and back up."
[60:00 - 74:00]
In a lively segment, the sisters and Kylie engage in blind ranking various romantic comedies from the 2000s.
